STATUS QUO

I had another drink after another drink
And then I tried to crawl to the door

I had another smoke after another joke
And then I couldn't take any more.
It didn't change a thing

Not any single thing

When someone tried to tell me for sure.

I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream

I read a word or two about ev'rything

I never knew the way that it ought to have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it.
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes
They won't go away.
And the times that I've tried are the times
That I find they don't show today.
But you make me feel so good.
I woke up after four still Iying on the floor
Waiting to be carried away

I woke up once again a little after ten

Will things be any better today?
It doesn't change
you see

It only changes me.
Will someone try to tell me I'm sure?

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream

I'm gonna read the lines again and look between

I never knew the way that it ought to have been

They never told me a thing about it

I never did know a thing about it.
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes
. . .
But you make me feel so good.
I'm going baGk to school
I'm gonna check the rules
And see if I get carried away.
I'm going back again
I'm gonna try again

Don't listen what the people might say.

It doesn't change a thing

Not any single thing

When someone tried to tell me for sure.
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
. .
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes
. . .
But you make me feel so good.
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
. .
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes
. . .
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes
. . .
